First off sorry for the lack of re-cap last week, just didn't have much to say about it. I did make a few notes that I might incorporate into this week.
Oh, and while I was ecstatic that Lacey and Chaz got to stay Mark & Kirsten's elimination was shockingly unexpected.
I guess people were really turned off by her sexy Samba. Usually that tends to have a positive effect. Whatever the reason I don't think they deserved it.
I'm a huge fan of movie scores and t.v. scores in general so I always find this night to be one of the most fun, this one was no exception.
Chynna & Tony "Mission Impossible" inspired Tango complete with the drop from the ceiling via harness. I think Tony probably regrets that though, looks like he hurt himself a little.
Sadly Chynna blanked out on the plot along with her entire routine tonight. The judges were all in agreement on that front.
Though Carrie Ann thought what she did remember was spot on. I hope she gets another shot next week. I don't think she has had a chance to reach her full potential like something tells me she can just yet.
I have to commend Tony it had to be quite hard to choreograph a Tango of all things to this particular theme. He did the best with what he was given really. 21/30 isn't terrible so we'll see what happens.
David & Kym "Indiana Jones" Paso Doble was his best dance by far in the competition in my opinion.
Though the judges said that about last week. Carrie Ann and Bruno loved his work this week as well. Although Bruno pointed out David should watch his turns.
Len was not surprisingly unimpressed (it was kind of the theme of the night for him this week). I loved that he stayed in character through out, didn't freak out, or lose his place.
He looked confident, and like he knew what he was doing for the first time in the competition. 23/30 was their final score.
Carson & Anna danced a fun "Pirate's of the Caribbean" Viennese Waltz complete with Johnny Depp inspired look. I'm not sure whether there was more content in it this time, or how much of it was actually done correctly (which was the judges complaint last week).
Bruno thought it was a bit like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Carrie Ann thought this was Carson's most butch performance but like Bruno thought it was a bit up and down.
Len didn't see any footwork, or technique but found it to be great fun. In the end they found themselves at the very bottom of the leader board this week with 20/30.
Nancy & Tristan "Flash Gordon" Paso Doble (2nd weirdest song choice of the evening). Len found the dance competent, but saw zero excitement. Carrie Ann thought Nancy deserved more credit for her efforts (being the oldest contestant).
But that she needed to connect with the audience more which sort of went hand in hand with Bruno who mentioned she needed to get into her character more.
Honestly I'm over her being on the show. While I still commend her for doing a decent job with the dancing.
Personality and watch-ability wise she's just plain boring, so I'm hoping she goes home tomorrow. Although it could be Chynna and Tony instead. Final score 21/30
Hope & Maks "You Got a Friend" Toy Story inspired Foxtrot complete with Jessie and Woody costumes. Bruno found it lovely, Carrie Ann thought it was refreshing and made her smile all the way through.
Len was frustrated because he thinks she has potential to go all the way, but just isn't putting in the work. I tend to agree with him on this one.
Unless she starts applying herself more soon, she's going to go home if not this week then the next. 24/30 was their total.
Rob & Cheryl "Superman"/ Clark Kent Paso Doble. Carrie Ann seemed to rave about the fluidity of his movement (which I will give him points for) But aside from that I wasn't particularly impressed.
He lacked aggression and dominance 2 most important ingriediants in a Paso Doble. Len didn't mind it, but wanted more drama. Bruno said he had musicality, but needed to be more assertive.
Ricky & Derek "Psycho" inspired Tango. Carrie Ann said it best. Brilliance in the ballroom. This had to be the weirdest and hardest routine to choreograph in the history of the show.
And yet once again Derek showed why he's the king of masterful choreography. Len's earlier complaint about drama was certainly fulfilled.
His comment was pretty spot on too Derek is like the U.S. postal service and he certainly does deliver every time.
It's no surprise that they received the best score of the night (and the first 10's of the season).
A near perfect 29/30.
Chaz & Lacey "Rocky" Paso Doble. Just like the song Carrie Ann felt inspired and wanted to root for Chaz after it was over.
Just like the song he keeps fighting and getting stronger. Bruno thought it was his best dance to date.
I thought it was well done, brought back a lot of the exuberant joy that was missing from his Rumba last week. Better dance with a better score then last week as well 21/30.
J.R. & Karina "Pink Panther" Foxtrot was the 2nd best dance of the night. Len agreed said it was the best male dance with just the right amount of comedy and slapstick.
Carrie Ann found the performance flat (which was surprising).
Bruno found it fabulous, and was impressed with his ability to nail all styles of dancing. I gotta agree this guy has a real shot of making it all the way to the finals along with Ricki and Derek.
They got the 2nd highest score again 26/30.
